Mick Hocking, Sony Worldwide Studios boss for 3D games, has revealed PS3 users can look forward to much more 3D content on their console.

Speaking at an exclusive London event, Hocking revealed future updates for PS3 will enable support for 3D TV and 3D YouTube.

“Crucially for us, PlayStation 3 will be able to store all types of 3D content. And we can do this through properly upgrading the Firmware on the platform.

“So you’ll see 3D games in the next 12 months, you’ll see Blu-ray movies in 3D, and as soon as the broadcasts start through our PlayTV services, you’re going to watch 3D content [via that].

“YouTube will be supporting 3D content over the next 12 months as well – and you’ll be able to watch that on the PlayStation 3. And as you start taking 3D pictures of your family or 3D camcorder movies, you can play those back on PS3, too.”

He concluded: “It’s a great purchase proposition and future proof.”

If you’re a 3D enthusiast it looks like the PS3 has you covered.
